AR-15 BS Thread

Looking for a red dot under $100. Any suggestions? I looked at a center point today at wally world but I'm not sure about it.

 

This one is as nice as the red dots that are ~$100, plus it comes with a cantilever mount. Mine has spent time on an AR, an AK and now it sits in a 30mm low ring on my Buckmark. It has the blue tinted glass that is prevalent on low end red dots, but it's built very solid. On sale for $57 right now.

Try Primary Arms, they make some pretty good red dots.

I would not go with anything cheaper then primary arms. Ive tried to skimp out and go cheap on red dots and they were all junk.

 

I've had my Barska Electro Sight for about 5yrs now and it's been flawless. Still on the original set of batteries, although it is getting a bit dim at lower intensity settings. I've had it on both of my .223/5.56's and is currently on my M&P15-22. Found mine at Scheel's for $110 back then. Barska site says like $250 but idk where they come up with that, everywhere else has it for about $120

those look good too

Ive had a few NCstar red dots and some cheap non magnified tube style red dot from academy and they were all junk.

as long as you do your research and learn from others mistakes you shouldnt have a problem
I use to have a bad habbit of impulse buying

 

That's why I was asking about the Center Point. I checked it out and it had some pretty good reviews , and it is pretty cheap so I thought it may be worth trying.

 

How about Sig's red dot? ~$200

Looks just like the primary arms micro dot but more expensive

 

Can't speak on their construction, but if they're anything like their Electro Sight they should hold up fine...plus, they're uber-inexpensive

I think bushnell makes one that looks just like it too

 

If you can swing the $200 I would go Vortex Sparc. Look for the reviews. I'm at our headquarters and gun websites are blocked so i cant find it for you, but there's a guy who beat the living shit out of one and it kept on ticking. I would say it's the best budget red dot out there. Almost went with one of these before I decided to go for the gusto with the Aimpoint PRO.

I use a UTG riser with a Bushnell red dot on my AR15 and it runs well. I have a Primary Arms on my 74.

 

Go to 3riversprecision.com and use coupon code MACSPARC to get 10% discount. you can get the sparc for $179

 

I have a Bushnell TRS-25 on my .22 pistol and it seems like a pretty good sight. It cost about $80 and supposedly can take shotgun recoil so I would expect it would work on an AR. You would need a riser though.
